problem

Candice starts driving home from work at 5:00 PM. Starting at exactly 5:01 PM, and every minute after that, Candice encounters a new speed limit sign and slows down by 1 mph. Candice's speed, in miles per hour, is always a positive integer. Candice drives for 2/32/3 of a mile in total. She drives for a whole number of minutes, and arrives at her house driving slower than when she left. What time is it when she gets home?
